Hey just wondered what everyone's thoughts on using armour prus for use on a pinto for a rope guide as a class 1? With extra bury.

Friend here had AP tested, 24 x rope diameter class 1 eye splice, broke at 2•78 tonnes.

Sounds like it is one of those things you COULD do...but if you care anything about liability or ANSI, you shouldn't do. The Donagy's website doesn't show a recommended splice for the rope... http://www.donaghys.com/splicing-instructions.html
I'm torn in decided what my recommended splice for it would be. It seems it should be spliced with exposed eyes like beeline and HRC. But it's a dyneema core and dyneema melts easy. Maybe the class 1 splice would be better just by the fact that it'd protect the core more?
Call/email donagy's and see what they say!

Nick, I believe class 2 is recommended for AP.

I do too, but last I checked (a long time ago) they were toying with brummel versions that could greatly shorten the buried tail length. Their current recommended splice involves a total of 40" of buried tail.
I'll follow up with them and see what they recommend these days.

Heard back from Tony McDonald, the Rope/Cordage Manager at Donaghys. His response:
...We have tested all the splices and for an e2e a slightly modified Class I is the answer. The tails are just a little bit longer to help with the splice. We will have this published over the next 2-3 weeks...
Highscale, you were on the right track! I'm looking forward to seeing the exact measurements they call for...but it looks like we (almost) have the answer.

It's nice to see I got something nearly right, modified class 1 eh? Interesting.
